We want you to scour through your favorite pieces of literature and give us the best 33 words you can find.

Some quick guidelines:

The writing you choose should not be your own.

The 33 words should be lifted directly from another source (i.e. don’t take 33 random words from Macbeth and shake them into a poem of your own (though that would be an awesome idea for another challenge) and don’t take a sentence from the beginning of a book and another from the end–keep the original order).

Credit your sources.

You can’t use the same 33 words as anyone else in the linkz. Skim through before posting your own. You can use the same author and even the same title, just not the exact same words.

Thanks! It was a lucky find!
The Lacuna is an amazing book on so many levels. It’s epistolary historical fiction, involving characters like Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivero, Leon Trotsky all centered around a character whose life illustrates so many social struggles: the red scare, gay rights, race/class, anti-intellectualism. And it manages to be tragic and hilarious at turns. A really amazing book.

Welcome!! So glad you linked up with us this weekend, and I absolutely love your choice. Kingsolver has quite a way with words, doesn’t she? Hope to see you back on Monday for the weekday prompt. (Also: Fictionary? Awesome.)
